This article explains how clients can easily upload line items for their contractors within the Deel platform. Mass uploading is either possible for work upload or for expenses and adjustments.

Mass uploading is a feature in Deel that enables clients to update multiple independent contractor contracts simultaneously, saving time by eliminating the need to modify each contract individually. This feature streamlines contract management, especially for clients handling a large number of contractors or employees.

The process described in this article is an enhancement of our existing mass upload feature. Some clients might not have visibility of it. If that’s the case, clients can reach out to their CSM to have this flow enabled.

Adding Work Submission for Multiple Workers

✅ Step 1 - From the homepage, in the Quick Access card, select Add Work Submission. Then, tick the option for Multiple Workers.

Note: For clients who wish to submit mass adjustments (bonuses, expenses, commissions, deductions…), please select the Add Expenses and Other Adjustments option and follow the same steps outlined in this article

Note that the client can also access both flows from the people list.

1. For mass upload work (hours, days, tasks for your PAYG workers, or milestones)
2. For mass upload adjustments (bonuses, expenses, commissions, or deductions for your PAYG or fixed rate workers)

✅ Step 2 - Select the workers

Select Download current data for workers, followed by the contract type. Clients can then choose the contracts they want to include in the CSV file template. Additionally, they can filter contractors by group, country, currency, and KYC status.

✅ Step 3 - Download and fill out the CSV file

After selecting the workers, click Download to get the CSV file template.

When filling out the template, ensure to follow the formatting guidelines provided during the flow to avoid errors.

✅ Step 4 -  Upload the completed CSV file

If any errors are detected during the upload process, they will be flagged by the system for client correction and CSV re-upload. However, if errors are detected in the uploaded, mapped file, they will be automatically flagged, and the client can fix them directly within the Deel platform, without needing to re-upload the CSV file.

Some common errors:

•  Empty mandatory fields: Please, fill in all the mandatory fields
•  Editing non-editable fields, and wrong date formats: check editable fields and formatting in our guidelines.
• Invalid project/category: if you don’t have projects or categories for your adjustments, just leave the field empty

✅ Step 5 - Approve items

Once the CSV is uploaded and all items are correct, the client will be able to approve them either by continuing through the flow or via the Upcoming Actions card on their homepage. From there, they can click to review the pending items.
